It's something we have been considering a lot lately. Personally, I'm looking for some happy medium. A house in a basically rural environment, but a reasonable (30-60 minutes) commute to a small college town. Currently we have our eyes on Northern Vermont in the vicinity of Burlington.
Being close to a small to medium city with a decent college population generally means there is stuff to do (restaurants, theater, good pubs, movies, etc.). And it takes me 30-45+ minutes to get into Boston and park to do anything now and can be such a pain we frequently pass; and we only live 5 miles from Boston! And if telecommuting and consulting dry up for a while, I could hopefully find at least a moderate salary (for the area) doing some basic IT work in town.
So for now, I'm trying to build up a consulting business, looking for good telecommuting opportunities, and planning for a few years down the road. Maybe it will happen, maybe not. But for now, it's a nice daydream! (go to your happy place Sean ;)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
